‘I’m supposed to be at a viewing’: Funeral home cremates mom before loved ones could say goodbye, then waits a week to tell them, family says

Rhonda Hollis cremated by Fisher Funeral Home before viewing

Background: Fisher Funeral Home in Redford, Mich. (WXYZ). Inset: Rhonda Hollis (The Hollis Family).

A Michigan family intends to sue a funeral home that was supposed to cremate their mother’s remains after holding a viewing but mistakenly cremated her before that viewing was held.

Rhonda Hollis, 42, died unexpectedly on Nov. 23 and her devastated family scheduled a viewing for Dec. 17 at Fisher Funeral Home. Her cremation was intended to take place afterward. But on Dec. 12, days before the Hollis family was to say their final goodbyes and see their loved one for the last time, they received a call from the owner of the funeral home — Hollis’ remains had already been cremated by mistake.
